22: TWO EP's but you have to give one to another team by the 4th leg of the race.

I personally find the twist REALLY upsetting... what's the point of running a "race", when you could save another team's sake? What is this, Big Brother?

Try this, ~let's just say there are team A and team B. Team A already finished the RB, first out of 10 or 9 teams, while team B has just arrived at the RB and currently in last place. And Team A would be like "Hey you know what team B has just arrived. They're weak, they get lost a lot, if we give them the xtra express pass, they're 100% using it cause they're dead last. We'll just cut a deal with them to let us win the leg. Besides, we're keeping a weaker team than us which is good."what's the point of the amazing "race" then? it's not even a race anymore.If team B literally pass some other teams while performing a RB, now that's what we call a "race", not because another team's effort. N

The season will be covered in drama I am sure that muchif they wanted more drama, they could just award an EXTRA U-TURN to the team that win LEG 1. an EXTRA U-TURN will appear at the end of any detours up until certain leg (i.e. LEG 8 ot 7). And that u-turn can only be used by the team who won LEG 1 (Team X). Every other teams must check in on every extra u-turns after finishing detours they encounter, but still only Team X can use it. Any regular or blind Double U-Turns may appear along with this EXTRA U-TURN and Team X has the right to use 'em once like any other teams. So in particular, Team X might U-Turn up to 2 teams on the same leg.

What if the team wanted to void the second U-TURN like what Trey and Lexi did last season.

Try this, ~let's just say there are team A and team B. Team A already finished the Detour, third out of 5 teams, while team B has just arrived at the Detour and currently in last place. And Team A would be like "Hey you know what team B has just arrived. They're weak, they get lost a lot, if we U-TURN team C (4th team) and then void another U-TURN, TEAM C will be dead last. We'll just cut a deal to tell them they owe us one. Besides, we're keeping a weaker team than us which is good."

what's the point of the amazing "race" then? it's not even a race anymore. If team B literally pass team C because of the U-TURN, there's no point in calling it a "race", not because of another team's effort.

Just edited it with your very own words and the scenario you proposed.. ability to use both U-TURN by the same team will be flawed as well.

If the starting line challenge is interesting. I like the Taiwan umbrella in TAR 19, TAR 20 we had teams look through hot air balloons which is good for HDTV but really it was a matter of luck. TAR 18 had a good one with all the planes. TAR 21's abseil downwards is pointless. TAR 17 we didn't have a start line challenge right? The one is TAR 15 is alright, but the start line elimination sucked.

^^ I see it more as a memory challenge... you have to remember which sandcastles you've done and what everyone else has done and then pick the other ones. It's kinda like a massive game of concentration. Looks like an epic task imo.
